Can’t Win Me Back

"I'm doing really well." Rose's eyes narrowed as she flicked ash off her cigarette.
"The world is my

home.

I have no family or kin to my name."

"What are you talking about? If you don't have family, who am I then?" Alyssa
held Rose's arm lovingly.

"The moment I become your mentor, you'll always be my... you know how it
goes."

"Taking advantage of me now, aren't you?" Rose teasingly pinched Alyssa's chin
with the hand holding

her cigarette.

Rose had a natural physique, taller and broader than Alyssa. Their affectionate
and teasing

movements made quite the sight. They looked like a couple of lesbian lovers.
Meanwhile, Silas was in the crowd some distance away, watching Rose's every
move.

He didn't like people who smoked. Every time Axel started smoking, Silas would
try and find a way to

snatch the cigarette away.

Yet for some reason, as Silas gazed at Rose holding the cigarette with her
slender fingers, the smoke

swirling around her face, and the relaxed look in her eyes, he couldn't help but be
mesmerized by her.

Right now, Rose was the most stunning creature to Silas, especially while doing
something he hated

the most.

His breathing quickened. He quickly looked away and downed an entire glass of
iced water from the

table.

It had been some time since Silas had met Rose. They hadn't contacted one
another prior, but Silas

would look at her social media account nearly every single day. He had followed
her and constantly

paid attention to any updates from Rose.

Silas had thought he and Rose would naturally grow closer tonight because of
what happened last

time.

But Rose hadn't spoken to him nor so much as glanced at him.

It made Silas uncomfortable. So he snatched a glass from the table and downed
it quickly, uncaring of

what was inside it.

"Fuck me, Silas! Good on you, man!" Cyrus exclaimed, smacking Silas' back
excitedly. "That was a

shot of El Lukadore tequila with 55 percent alcohol content. I myself needed to
take a break after taking

a sip yet you downed all of it in one shot? What a lad!"

Silas was stunned.

Tequila? 55 percent alcohol content?

Rose glanced in Silas’ direction as he ran off, her eyes twinkling slightly.

"So what? I don't need a man. All that matters is that my designs are beautiful.”
Rose smiled

nonchalantly, though there was a hint of self-depreciation in her words.
